SOLARCOM

What SOLARCOM does

SOLARCOM France is a privately held industrial company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Tarbes, France, specializing in the design, manufacture, and deployment of off-grid solar photovoltaic and radiocommunication systems for isolated, remote, and hazardous environments. The company's product portfolio spans solar microstations (10–90 Wp) and solar stations (100 Wp–10 kWp), hybrid solar-diesel (DIESELSOL) and solar-wind-generator (SHP) systems, explosion-proof generator enclosures certified to EEx.d.IIB.T3 / CENELEC standards, and a proprietary family of solid-state charge controllers (PR, PRS, REGUSOL, THYRISOL, MAXI TRACK) based on true PWM regulation. Application-level offerings include solar-powered water pumping, cathodic protection, signaling (road, rail, marine, air), and a remote-monitoring telemetry layer (GSM, satellite, radio, PSTN). The radiocommunications division delivers VHF/UHF/HF radio networks, TETRA and APCO25 trunked radio, VSAT terminals, wireless local loop, and cellular base station systems.

The company serves enterprise and government buyers across telecom, Oil & Gas, broadcasting, water management and agriculture, healthcare, transportation infrastructure, and government/defense verticals, with claimed direct-ship operations across Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, Asia/Oceania, and Africa. SOLARCOM generates revenue primarily through custom-designed hardware sales combined with bundled professional services covering feasibility, design, installation, commissioning, training, and lifetime technical support. Pricing is quote-based per project, with no publicly disclosed tiers, and distribution is exclusively direct (no third-party resellers). The organization operates with 1–10 employees from a single Tarbes facility, and no parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or institutional investors are disclosed.

The business model is high-touch and project-based: each system is engineered to site-specific requirements, supported by an in-house R&D capability that produces differentiated power electronics and hazardous-area certified products, and reinforced by a 40-year operating history and a private client portal for installed-base documentation. The company's strategic posture is that of a niche specialist rather than a scaled platform, with growth levers concentrated in expanding hazardous-location certifications, hybrid system adoption, and recurring remote-monitoring services across its existing global footprint.
